12. Beside them the birds of the heavens dwell; They lift up their voices among the branches.
13. He waters the mountains from His upper chambers; The earth is satisfied with the fruit of His works.
14. He causes the grass to grow for the cattle, And vegetation for the labor of man, So that he may bring forth food from the earth,
15. And wine which makes man's heart glad, So that he may make his face glisten with oil, And food which sustains man's heart.
16. The trees of the Lord drink their fill, The cedars of Lebanon which He planted,
17. Where the birds build their nests, And the stork, whose home is the fir trees.
18. The high mountains are for the wild goats; The cliffs are a refuge for the shephanim.
19. He made the moon for the seasons; The sun knows the place of its setting.
20. You appoint darkness and it becomes night, In which all the beasts of the forest prowl about.
21. The young lions roar after their prey And seek their food from God.
22. When the sun rises they withdraw And lie down in their dens.
23. Man goes forth to his work And to his labor until evening.
24. O Lord, how many are Your works! In wisdom You have made them all; The earth is full of Your possessions.
25. There is the sea, great and broad, In which are swarms without number, Animals both small and great.
26. There the ships move along, And Leviathan, which You have formed to sport in it.
27. They all wait for You To give them their food in due season.
28. You give to them, they gather it up; You open Your hand, they are satisfied with good.
29. You hide Your face, they are dismayed; You take away their spirit, they expire And return to their dust.
30. You send forth Your Spirit, they are created; And You renew the face of the ground.
31. Let the glory of the Lord endure forever; Let the Lord be glad in His works;
